Event - Fuel Cells 2014 Science & Technology

This event will take place on April 3 - 4, 2014, at the NH Grand Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam. Thousands of fuel cells are being produced annually and sold commercially in a wide range of applications, but continued research, both fundamental and applied, will be essential to help reduce production costs and increase durability.

This conference will bring together leading researchers and technologists, working in critical areas such as new materials, degradation processes and systems engineering, to discuss the state-of-the-art, highlight new developments and propose research priorities.

Topics

•Fuel cell electrochemistry
•Materials for fuel cells
•Cell and stack technology
•Fuels and fuel infrastructure
•Fuel cell systems and applications
•Fuel processing
•Modelling and control
•Fuel cell components

Invited Speakers

Bert De Colvenaer, Executive Director, Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, Belgium
Niels Christiansen, Chief Innovation Officer, Topsoe Fuel Cell, Denmark
Mascha Smit, Team Leader R&D, Nedstack, The Netherlands
Hugh Sutherland, Team Leader in Fuel Cell Development, AFC Energy Plc, UK

Video - Elon Musk Dismisses Hydrogen Powered Cars?

At a recent speech in Munich, Germany, Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk referred to hydrogen fuel cells as bullshit. The Motley Fool's John Rosevear diagrees with Musk's assessment and calls his comments "marketing" to "keep the confidence of his investors" As Rosevear explains, there are imperfections in current battery configurations for cars that make them less than perfect. This includes issues like weight, cost and the fact that the technology has not moved as rapidly as many of us had hoped. The issues associated with battery power are some of the reasons why many major automakers are actively exploring the possibilities of hydrogen fuel cells.
